When the calendar turned to January, the St. Louis Blues were in the mix for the Stanley Cup Playoffs. January would provide key stretches that could have made or broken their season.

To trade or not to trade, the St. Louis Blues are close to the Trade Deadline and begging the question of if they will repeat last season's.

The St. Louis Blues have moved on from winger Brandon Saad after three and a half seasons. The 32-year-old winger is a two-time Stanley Cup winner and veteran o

The Blues traded Scott Perunovich to the Islanders, then waived Brandon Saad on Tuesday, cutting ties with a player drafted seven years ago, then one with a $4.5 million contract.

BOTTOM LINE: The St. Louis Blues enter the matchup with the Colorado Avalanche after losing three games in a row. Colorado is 29-21-2 overall and 7-8-1 against the Central Division. The Avalanche have conceded 164 goals while scoring 169 for a +5 scoring differential.

The Dallas Stars (30-17-1, in the Central Division) came up with a key win Friday night, taking down the Vegas Golden Knights 4-3 at American Airlines Center. Dallas will have a quick turnaround, hitting the road to face the Blues (23-22-4, in the Central Division) on Saturday in St. Louis.

For the first time in 15 years, fans of the St. Louis Blues in Central Illinois will have a new way to watch their games.

The decision to let Dylan Holloway join the St. Louis Blues on an offer sheet is looking worse and worse for the Edmonton Oilers.

The St. Louis Blues placed Brandon Saad on unconditional waivers for purpose of contract termination. Therefore, the Oilers should sign him.

Saad has been relegated to a bottom-six role in St. Louis, having been passed on the depth chart by former Oilers forward Dylan Holloway. He is coming off a 26-goal campaign with the Blues last season, and it still looks like he has the wheels to be an NHL player.
